title The Latitude Festival, Henham Park, Suffolk - 20th July 2009 intro Nosher and Isobel had done the first Latitude festival back in 2006, which was especially memorable for its refreshing lack of lagered-up festival knob-wits, but the intervening two were missed through a) inaction and b) sprognation. However we finally got round to the fourth, this time with Fred in tow and a couple of tents to sleep in. This year's festival is similar in extent, but has a lot more attendees and is missing a couple of smaller music tents, but it's still easy going, with its off-mainstream range of music and laid-back atmosphere. Fred takes to his first full-on camping experience pretty well, even though he likes waking up at 5am. imgp6558 Isobel has a drink of water imgp6560 Fred on a blanket imgp6566 First sight of the festival imgp6567 Some information helpers imgp6572 Fred looks freaked out imgp6596 Blue light on stage imgp6601 Keyboard action in a sea of yellow imgp6608 Fred's belly imgp6613 The main stage imgp6627 Main stage action imgp6629 Wings and a tutu imgp6631 Another alternative faery cycles off imgp6633 Flags in the children's area imgp6637 Another act on stage imgp6643 The Boy Phil eats pizza imgp6658 Smoke on stage imgp6696 Lights and smoke imgp6701 A floating stage on the lake imgp6704 A view over the lake imgp6706 Up in the woods imgp6714 Isobel and The Boy Phil imgp6717 The Latitude sign imgp6738 The Pet Shop Boys imgp6759 Back at the campsite imgp6761 Fred and Phil mess about imgp6762 A tent on a Land Rover imgp6763 Tent city imgp6764 The massed crowds imgp6769 Regina Spektor on stage imgp6770 The Blue Man group roam around imgp6773 A random group of people imgp6803 Paloma Faith in the Uncut Arena imgp6842 The Boy Phil and Fred imgp6845 Isobel plays with Fred imgp6850 A balloon seller with a fag on imgp6851 Fred reaches up for a balloon imgp6858 A girl shimmies up a flag pole imgp6861 Fred gets a drink imgp6867 White Lies are on the main stage imgp6873 White Lies on stage imgp6881 Fred and Isobel imgp6887 Crowds in the afternoon sun imgp6889 A bloke in a donkey hat imgp6934 Doves take to the main stage imgp6944 More music in the Uncut Arena imgp6958 Uncut Arena stage action imgp6978 Grace Jones with a cone on her head imgp6998 Grace Jones and lasers imgp7012 The amazing Grace Jones on stage imgp7028 Fred and Phil imgp7034 Breakfast barbeque smoke is everywhere imgp7035 The crowds head off to the arena imgp7047 Fred gets a piggy back imgp7071 Fred and Nosher imgp7084 A collection of welly boots imgp7101 Juggling balls imgp7109 More fancy dress imgp7111 Isobel and Fred imgp7114 More circus skills imgp7120 Somebody does the ribbon thing imgp7121 Some more risqué fancy dress imgp7130 It rains so everyone hides under a tree imgp7131 Rain pours in through the marquee roof imgp7137 It lashes it down outside imgp7140 Red Light Company in the Uncut Arena imgp7171 A lone tent in front of the main stage imgp7173 Wild Beasts do their thing imgp7179 Wild Beasts in action imgp7185 The comedy tent is 18s only imgp7188 The rain totally lashes down again imgp7193 More tree huddling imgp7196 Everyone crams into the nearest tent imgp7205 A rainbow umbrella imgp7207 The paths quickly turn into a muddy river imgp7208 Girls apply flourescent paint imgp7209 The painted sheep of Latitude roam around imgp7216 Pink sheep imgp7225 Party frock and a fag imgp7240 Something raucus in the Uncut Arena imgp7264 Fred ignores it all imgp7283 Editors on the main stage imgp7298 Some tool films the gig with a laptop imgp7306 Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds play the final set
